Coming out of a very difficult period of my life, I decided to make things that give me pleasure. These new works are fueled by personal transformation, meditations on spirituality and mysticism, recent encounters and the act of making art as a way of making oneself.
“Blue Thread Red Whisper” is an open studio invitation by the Parisian based German artist Mariana Hahn at her work space in Governors Island. Developed over the course of a 2 month residency, this new body of work spans across performance, installation, drawing, video, and poetry and includes found objects by the artist on the island, copper and salt as part of her research on memory and transmission. Hahn has a deep interest in excavating the relationship between materials and their interconnectedness, viewing them as a foundational element in understanding the workings of the human body and its interaction with the unseen aspects of existence.
